Description j_lozinski 2006-02-02 11:46:07 UTC
I would like an option in the palm sync to specify syncronisation to categories
for multiple calendars.

The reasoning is that Palms (and other PDAs) support single calendars, but items
can be categoriesed which show in different colours.  Evolution shows different
colours for different calendars.  I want to sync the different colours from
evolution calendars to categories in the Palm.

The process would work as follows:
Evolition->Palm Sync.
---------------------
Take all calendars:
  Process each one and set CATEGORY for ical to name of calendar
  save into single ics file for sync
Sync single ics file with PDA as usual.

Palm->Evolition Sync.
---------------------
Take palm ics into tmp ics file.
For each item in ics:
  save into catergory.ics for CATEGORY in item
synchronise each category.ics with relevant calender

Unknown Calendar/Category
-------------------------
The simplest solution for non-existant calendars/categories is to create new
ones for them on the Palm or in Evolution.  How possible this is I don't know.

I wanted to try hacking this, so that a tick option would be there to use this
functionality.  I couldn't find the conduits in the gnome-pilot package, so I'd
love a pointer into where I can get them, and how to build if it's more
complicated that ./configure etc..

Thanks.

if you like to start hacking on this, the mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers would be a good place to start.

i assume that this bug is based on bug 266609 and bug 201167?

Marking this bug as duplicate of bug#201167. iCal has support for categories, therefore, there is no need to sync an event with its calendar name as "category".
